Ryan04's Build Thread

[Ryan04]

How do you like the 650lb front spring? How does it handle as like in the pics? What do you have in the rear, and how does it work? It looks like we like to run the same types of roads and terrain. Yesterday I ran about 40 miles of the Mint 400 course for fun. My current chassis package no longer works for my needs.Im considering a total redo of my chassis package and am seeking ideas. Also thinking of going with the Camburg front kit with Fox's front and rear.

To be honest it does ride a little stiff at low speeds. If i had to change it up i would go with the 700lb longer 14" spring. In the rear I have 2" lift coils from all pro offroad and fox 2.0 shocks.

What kind of mpg are you getting? Those tires look great

I am getting around the low 14s with mixed city and highway driving

Your truck looks awesome! Have you done anything else to your suspension? And how do you like that magnaflow?

Thanks! I also have spindles and upper a-arms as well as the coilovers. And the magnaflow I have sounds great! I cut off the resonator as well

Swapped out the plugs today. I'm pretty sure they were the OEM spark plugs because the drivers side were ngk's and the passenger side were densos. With 140k on the clock...

Curious if you used anti seize.

 

[Tooltime19]

I always use anti-seize. Great insurance!

Yeah I saw those, but in his first pict he is running general tire grabber's not the AT2's so I assumed that was the tire size in his build thread.


EDIT: Im guessing you are running 33x12.5R17

nope you are right, they are 285/70/17 general grabbers. I got them off craigslist and the guy said that he got them from a place in san diego called wheels depot. i have yet to see another set of 285/70/17 general grabbers

have been pretty inactive here recently so i figured i should update with some pics

added an ebay spoiler and installed some black headlights (may be going back to stock)

 

[Mytoy4]

How come the possibility of going back to stock?

the ones i got were used and are pretty beat up you just cant tell that well from far away, once you get up close you can definitely notice, plus the look of the black headlights still hasn't grown on me yet
